Same Difference
“The world will never
Be the same!”
That’s what they say;
“Will never be
the same—
Never be
the same again!”
Yet even that “same”
Has some nasty names;
Like—crucifixion,
Inquisition,
Reign of Terror,
Auschwitz, Hiroshima,
Chernobyl, Pol Pot:
All this was “same”
Until two planes
Over New York
Mirror-imaged
Into plate glass
And telescoped
Twin Towers down to
Ground Zero.
As though six thousand
Years of “same”
Became a reference to
What was endurable:
As though some new evil
Could never be invented!
So nothing
—nothing ever—
Ever is the same:
Only Jesus—the same
Yesterday, today and
Forever.
